Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Conversely, where no such evidence has been presented, the custody judgment is not a considered decree. Dungan v. Dungan, 499 So.2d 149 (La.App. 2d Cir. 1986); Stevens v. Stevens, 340 So.2d 584 (La.App. 1st Cir.1976).”
